A fantastic race. I watched it from just before York Corner and both men rode like titans. One of the greatest races at the North West 200.

What a wonderful era of motorcycle road racing.

Hi Conor: I just saw your posting. I had been searching for Rhonda for five years on the net. I knew she married and moved to New Zealand but found out 2010 that she had passed away.....I met her on her tarvels to Canada and we spent some time together. I was so incredibly in love with her. I went traveling after that time in 1979 and came by Ireland 1981 on my way home. That's when I met Donny. God guy...An ackward moment for both of us.
Still love and miss her dearly.

Hi,
That Donny interview is not 1981 actually but is from the NW200 in 1982 or 1983 when he came back from his Grand Prix exploits. Yes, I do remember Rhonda real well but I've not heard or seen of her since those days though.

Sadly I was told at the Cookstown 100 in April 2012 that Rhonda passed on some years ago from cancer, RIP

Hi
Is this interview from 1981...Donny looks too young...but then maybe it's just me !
What am I saying ....I guess you should know because you are his friend.
I realize he passed away in 1999 ?
I met him in 1981 on a visit to Killyfaddy.
Do you have anymore of Robinson ? Did you know his girlfriend Rhonda Wright ?

The last year without the first chicane.

[@mcginncf]

No chicanes, just flat out, on the pipe 🏍

Was there really a chicane in 82?Surely not,my memory isn't what it was but I can't remember that.
